DAILY READINGS: 2 Chronicles 31; Ezekiel 47; 1 John 1 to 2:11
Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as
ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
1 Corinthians 5:7
"Lump” is one of those phonetically appealing words that seems
to perfectly describe something just in the pronouncing of it—a
shapeless, featureless, useless lump. And here the Holy Spirit uses it
in reference to the local church! Once established and gathered unto
the Lord though, the “lump” becomes a “lamp". Godliness is an
inward adornment accomplished by the Holy Spirit, both in our lives
and in our assemblies, despite all the lumps. —Rick Morse
Elect from every nation, yet one o’er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation: one Lord, one faith, one birth. —Samuel John Stone
